” 1 Assyou are-aware, on the instruction of United States _
District Judge Peter Fay (Miami, Florida Division), ‘incident to
‘the: Drug Enforcement Administration's prosecution of Subject

_for conspiracy to import <nd distribute multi-ton loads of
’ marijuana, the undersigned made a detailed review of. the files

of this Agency concerning Subject.in August 1976. This exami-
- nation was to ascertain any data that ran to Werbell's guilt or
Dope ee innocence of the offense charged and any other data reflecting the
ae Set _ - nature of the relationship between Werbell and the U.S. Gavernment. —

i oe ; This latter requirement was grounded on the Court's view that

‘Werbell's voluntary reporting to the Agency and any government
‘condonation of his activities might be exculpatory in the eyes of the

jury.

ve or _ .

2. In response, we reviewed the files, identified Agency
‘contacts with Subject and preparee two affidavits: one regarding
non-employment by Mr. B. DeFelice and the second regarding
Werbell's relationship to the Agency by the undersigned. Copies
are attached. During the trial the first affidavit was shown to
counsel for Werbell by DEA counsel, Mr. Sam Sheres, at which . . on
point defendant's counsel stipulated that Werbell was never a :
* forma! employee of the Central Intelligence Agency- Sheres
subsequently returned the affidavits to the undersigned at the
conclusion of the trial. ue

3, Regarding the relationship of Werbell to the e Agency, as’
_ approved by the Deputy Director, the undersigned appeared before
' Judge Fay in his chambers on 31 August and under oath answered
questions of the Court concerning Werbell. A copy of the transcript
'*, of that-proceeding is attached. You will note that Judge Fay requested
that all pertinent gov ernment records be made available to the Court
‘for its inspéction. Accordingly, copies of Agency files were reproduced,
culled for "Brady-type” ddcuments, excised to protect sources and
methods under the "SWP case criteria" and. reviewed and approved by
Assistant DD/O-on the evening of 1 September. These processed:
_ documents Were then handcarried to Miami by t the undersigned on

. He was on the bench with a tight schedule and zsxed that the possible
Brady documents. first be reviewed by Karen Atkinson, the principal
counsel for the prosecution. The undersigned subsequently briefed
Atkinsun on the nature of data in the possible Brady documents. This

resulted in a significant reduction in the number of possibles. The
undersigned gave Atkinson copies of the four unclassified OGC
documents related to the DOD revocation of Werbdell's security clearance
in 1971. In addition, Office of Security documents edited and approved
for release to Werbell under his Freedom of Information and Privacy
Act.request.(Tabs'A-and B of OS response), consisting of media : a

“ -defendante subsequently rested their case. The DOJ had little else
, tg add and the case went to the jury about noon on 3 Sept. mber. ‘AN
“the remaining copies of Agency ducuments were returned te Headquarters
--by the undersigned the evening of 3 September. On 4 September the
jury. returned_a verdict of "not guilty." As a result, the bulk of
"Brady-type" Agency documents or Werbell was not provided to
counsel for: Werbell and Judge Fay reviewed no Agency documents.
It shauld be noted all ‘copies of documents taken to Miami were excised
‘in-accord with the SSWP case criteria" and on return to Headquarters, -

_ these were destroyed by the e undersigned.

TO & Asa related matter, on 16 November Mr. Arthur Egbert
of the Interna! Security Division of. the DEA contacted the undersigned

SUBJECT. :' Mitchell Livingston Werbel TI

ee oS t was advised by. the Justice Department.on 23 February that
.. Werbel has beer indicted and the trial is scheduled to begin on. 29 March
.. in Miami, Florida? The charges relate to importing and distributing
quantities of marijuana. With Werbel's propensity to raise his past

" .. affiliations with the Agency, we can anticipate problems during this trial,
: An additional problem is presénted because Werbel is ‘defended by Edwin
os ae . \.Marger who was th ense attorney for John Hawk in the B-26 case in
" ‘Buffalo, New Yerk in' 1966. It was Edwin Marger who subpoenaed the CIA |

General Counsel as a°defense witness,

f 2. The Justice Department has.réeceived information that a person
either currently or formerly affiliated with the CIA has. been participating
in Werbel's meetings with his attorney. It would be appreciated if all

_ addressees could review their holdings on Werbel and determine if there

| is any validity to any recent contacts with him. I would urge that instruc-
‘tions be sent to Miami that no, repeat no, contact with Werbel take place.
between now and the beginning of the trial. :

3. It would be helpful if each addressee could’prepare a summary
of the various contacts Werbel has had with CIA in the past. Please check
to see if you have any information on a Colonel Bayard who was killed in

' Atlanta, Georgia during the summer of 1975, Bayard, reportedly an

| associate of Werbél's, had previous contacts with the Agency. It would
be appreciated if your responses could be received by close of business

‘@on’ Conversation,:: :

told'me that Macken,. a JOT-classmate of ours, had been fired. by

‘the Agency.-+ According, to “Dyckman, Mackem is now employed, in the
Washington area as a private investigator. In addition, accord-

ing to Dyckman, Macken is involved with a paramilitary activity |
funded by some unnamed British source. [he activity, which
Dyckman-referred to’as “the new land project” seeks to establish :
a tax shelter on one of ‘the out-islands of the Caribbean by ; .
forcefully taking over the island and establishing a government — :
there. Mackem is supposedly involved in paramilitary training

of forces who would participate in this paramilitary adventure

again. According to Dyckman, the parazilitary training sunnosedly

‘takes place in Georgia not far from Atlanta.

America’s most affuent and active

even themselves and their families
from.the centers of the U.S. econ-
omy, which many of them seem to
consider done for. Nicholas - von
Hoffman, the acerbic and preter-
naturally foresighted columnist of
The Washington Post, found that in

- some of mid-America’s best ervcu-

tive clubs, “Theré is talk of buring
fold coins and keeping them in the
office safe, of owning a piece of lund
to retreat to when the trouble
starts.” The hero of the year’s most

‘C.LA: “agents, ‘manipulator’ of the

as the most sophisticated small

a taste for irregular warfare as an

WerBell is rumored: tu have taken
a hand iti a jong string of mini-
wars since then, fvom the South
Chiaa Sea to the Caribbean and the
Mev iterzanean, Hut WerBell frowns
on <rass badinage, especially with
food. At Zeibert’s the table talk is

mostly-about gastronomy today, in -

part because'the dill sours and soft-
shell crabs are truly remarkable, in
part because the host at the neigh-

” boring table is Clifton Daniel. the

silver-haired Washington bureau
chief of The New York Times.

Eut by the time coffee and Cour-
er arrive, Daniel and his party
depart. Werbell lights a finely
veined Montecruz double corona. “1
talked to the island tuday," he says,
and suddenly the table is all atten-
tion.

he island’—-that's what this
lunch is all about. The island
is Abaco; not yet. an inde.
pendent republic, nor a center
of commerce ated finance, but

coral hump, either. In fact, Abaco
is the sevend-largest Jandmasa in

the Hahamas—Great Abaco and _

Little Abaco, surrounded by a
sprinkling of small reefs and cays,
over seven hundred square miles

of fertile tropical paradise. Mitth
Werbell and his gucets have come
to Washington to discuss a project

drums. WerBell’s world is.

Sionics“Inc:, he designs ‘and manu- ~

by no means a negligible

straight out of a Forsyth seriye:
the take-over of Abacu—an action
that will allow these men to pet
themselves and. their money profit-
ably out of the U.S.

To be sure,- any resemblance to
popular fiction stops short with the .
basic idea.’ Commando politics ig
dead. It will no longer ‘de to break|
open a case of booties hand gre-
nades and storm the palace. In fact, ‘
Abaco has no palace. What it does ‘

‘ have'is:six to seven thousand native

inhabitants who lead lives ranging
from ' quiet Stagnation to mute

_poverty. <-

:To be conquered, Abaco must ‘be

‘.attacked=that fiindamental, aspect

of territorial ‘expansion has not
changed in four thousand years—
but-in an age of psychological war-
fare, motivational research; sub-

-liminal propaganda and ‘behavior
. Modifcation, the. tactics must be
/ different. WerBell's: ‘first assault ‘on *

- great. skill and ruthless persuasive-

ness,-the citizens of Abaco are ‘con:
vinced, step by step, that they must

become an independent nation: that

becoming an independent nation is
the greatest, most rewarding thing
in. the whole wide worid: that it is
they, the citizenry of Abaco, who
Must urgently .need and demand
and fight for status as a self-gov-
erning commonwealth.

“I talked to the island for. almost
ain hour this-‘morning,” Wer¥ell re-..
Peats gently, now that everyone
around the table is watching him
with close attention, “They finally
got- the slips. They've already dis-
tributed half of them. They'l) make
2 one-spot run this weekend and see
how they score. They thin
sixty to sixty-five percent.”

No translation is needed. As the
Watergate tapes have demonstrat-
ed, men who share a secret scenario
come tu share a secret language, as
if by osmosis. Werlell’s remarks
reveal that he has had a lorg-dis-

‘tance conversation’ this morning

with one of his chief operatives on
Abaco, using a clear phone line—
ic, a connection involving untapped
phone numbers. (If the conversa-
tion nad not involved a key agent
on Abaco, and if ithe ph F
been suspect, the conversation
would have been brief.)

The agent on the jsland—most
likely C.K. “Chuck” Hall who has
served as WerLHell's principal oper-
ative on Abaco during most of the
Summer of 1074-—reported that the
special courier who Ooveasienally ar-

“vives from Miami aboard a small
amphibisn seaplane, bringing con- *

had delivered a shiprrent of biank
survey forms, Tr poiling- slips,
devised by a prestigious U.S. opin-
jon-research firm, are to scontior
sentiment on Abaco in.favor of in-
dependence—not just once, but
week by week, as WerBeli’s psywar
campaign unfolds. _ .
Furthermore, WerBel! learned
this morning that a test sampling
focused on a single Abaco settle

.ment, perhaps Marsh Harbour ‘or

Fox Town, had been scheduled by
his. agents on Abaco for the coming
weekend. The organizers expected
to poll between sixty and sixty-Eve

percent. in favor of independence— -
an impressive score, reflecting the |

fact that the covert political cam

providentially, at this critical june

ture in mid-1974, Michael C. Olver,
in asentiation vith Mitchell Wor
Bell, offers the drivea rich an alter-
native: not just some ‘backecuntry
hidey-hole, but citizenship and _resi-
dénce in an entirely new country: a
newborn commonwealth wholly ded-
icated to the protection of private

wealth and the survival—indeed,

the reriral—-of the classic free-
enterprise system.

Long before the Dow hit the five
hundreda, and coffee went up to
fifty cents a cup, long before old
people began eating’ dog food and
farmers ‘dumping their calves into
ditches, Mike Oliver foresaw that
the free-enterprise econemy was

‘doomed -in—America: It sounded ~
» Strange at first, coming from Mike
- Oliver, this single-minded belief’ in
“devaluation; decline and fall, for i in
the mid-Sixties-the-dollar was still

the fixed star of the economic firma-.
ment, the U.S. economy was boom-
ing, and Oliver himself seemed the
very embodiment of the American

dream of success: a European im-—

migrant to the-U.S, at eighteen, he

had made his first million by thirty:

(real-estate development, construc-
tion) and 1965 saw him living on a
charming wooded estate in Nevada
with s pretty wife named Retty and
three lively children. Approaching
fifty, Oliver was the president of
sever:! medium-sized corporations,
a settled, influential community
leader and’ the employer of a rav-
ishingly beautiful secretary named
Vicky Jo Todd, who was crowned
Miss Nevada in 1970. Yet for al-
most ten. years, where other busi-
nessmen and economists saw only
progress and prosperity, Oliver di-

vined a long-range trend toward de- :

Pressivn and disaster.

Worldwide travel and an intense
reading of economics helped con-
vince him by 1965 that, as he told

a visitor years later, “They're go- -

ing to screw up the money.” He
felt certain that debauchery of the
doliar would lead to political crisis,
inflation, and ultimately to sume
sort of dictatorship.

“Once I saw that the dollar was
kaput, that whatever the govern.
ment did would only make matters
worse, I dumped my stocks and
bonds ‘and switched to.a strong
position in gold coina. Everyone
laughed, except my friends; my

question about Abaco as a potential tax

“Keep in mind what we are bul! ding

he says. "It's a tux- free rution. Have

Morrisey with a Mr. Mitchell L. WerBell, Ill, who, according ‘to our,

DEA on whether or not he supplied arms to Robert Vesco. “Also, While
not mentioned in the press, at least. one retired CLA staffer and possibly.
two others may have been involved with Conein and Morrisey. The ex-
staffer is John P. Muldoon, a friend of Conein's, who. currently isa
private security specialist who has dealt with Morrisey in the purchase
of audio sweeping devices for his business. Muldoon was retained ! by

1. Mitchell Livingston WerBell, who appeared in recent press
reports has for over a period of ten years been claiming to be a -
réepreseritative of the United States Government and of CLA, . The facts
do not ‘Support this contention, _

2. .CIA first learned of WerBell in July of 1959 when he contacted
General Cabel indicating xnoWledge of Cuban and ‘Dominican affairs.
Mr. Thomas J. Flores of LA Division was put in contact with WerBell
and:considered using him as an Fl asset. A POA was granted on
‘73 July 1959 for. this purpose. By October. 1959 it was ‘apparent that he

did not have the access to information as hoped and he apparently looked
upon his association with CLA asa means of furthering his various
‘business schemes. Ali contact was then severed.

- 3. From that time until the present Mr. WerBell has cropped up ‘
in a number of nefarious activities whereby he inferred he had CIA connections
or support. He was repovted to have been involved in arms sales to
Nicaragua and Guatemala, in efforts to gain recognition by certain
South American countries of the Cuban Government in Exile, and in an
abortive scheme to invade the Republic of Haiti in 1906. He also turned
up in Thailand where he contacted the COS purportiig to’ Bea Counter-
insurgency expert. In 197I the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
queried the Agency re Mr. Werbell, asking if WerBell hac a contractual
agreement or association with the Agency, as Werbcil was awaiting a hearing
before a Department of Defense Examinér related tohis participation in’
the aboritve Haiti invasion. . The Office of the General Counsel placed the
matter in perspective. Subsequently, he contacted the Agency to request
intercession on his behalf to have his security clearance reinstated which

. Gob revoked because of his Haitian caper. He was told this, cculd not. bei
done. [n-197] he again appeared in Thailand attempting to seil arms. da
1973 he was under investigation by U.S. Treasury Bureau of Alechol, |

All three inviduals reported their involvement with the WerBell group |
and had sought guidance from the Agency. In May and June they were
advised to break all ties with WerBell. On 27.June 1974 the FBI was
formally apprised of WerBell's overtures for their collaboration in

the effort'to bring: Abaco's secession. In September 1974 WerBell

reportedly went to Greece to sell arms to the Greek Government.

gate conspirator E. Howard
Hunt Jr. has been mention-
ed in connection with an
azrempt by an Alexandria
firm to.sell assassination
equipment to the U:S. -gov-
emment. : 7

Sen. Lowe!l P. Weicker
Jr. R-Conn., disclosed

- today that. Lucian Conein,
director of special projects

for the Drug Enforcement
Administration, viewed the’
equipment manufactured

y by the now-defunct Alexan-

dria electronics firm. But
Concin denies he ever even.
considered buying any of
the equipment.

Weicker released a cata-
logue of the devices which
included such things as ex-
Dloding cigarette. packages
and. electronic booby traps
fortelephnne receivers. The
ecuipment was manufac.
tured by the B. R. Fox
Laboratories, which'Weicke '
er said went out-of business.
three weeks ago.

THE SENATOR, a for-

Concin’s involvement in the
incident raise serious .new
questions about the opera-
tions of federal law enforce-
ment and Intelligence agen-
cies.

He also quéstioned ‘a
statement by Conein that
the DEA planned to pur-
chase only electronic eaves.
dropping devices from Fox.

“L told the senator that,’*.
Conein said. “Yeah, I.saw -

this (assassination) stuff.
So what? I’'ve-seen a lot of
that kind of thing in my
doy.” of

Conein was a long-time
CIA operative before mov-
ing to the DEA with the
assistance’ of Egil Krogh,
former head of the White
House plumbers for whom

‘Hunt worked:

Tn July 1971, Conein had a
three-way telephone -con-
versation with Hunt and

Prior to the coup that ousted
former South Vietnamese

: President Ngo. Dinh Diem.

Concin was a high-ranking
CIA operative in Saigon at
the time of the 1963 coup.

HUNT LATER used some
of the information ‘obtained
from Conein as background
for fabricating State De-
Bartment cables that impli-
cated the late President
John F. Kennedy in Diem’s
assassination. Hunt was
working for the Nixon

- WEICKER. SAID the
memorandum itself raised
doubts about‘Conein’s state-

he said it stirred questions

that agency in 1971,

MEMORANDUM FOR-THE RECORD

‘SUBJECT: Meeting with Theodore Roussos on 31. August 1974

ie

«J. «During subject meeting Mr. Roussos told me that
Mr. Mitchell Livingston WERBELL Il1-called him from Atlanta
on 29. August and. again. on 30° August. Werbell told Roussos

vewat he-was-leaving. for Athens on Saturday, 3] August in.

order to try to sell arms to the Greek government. Werbell.
‘wanted, Roussos. to -be. his advisor in this venture and to

‘go to Athens: Werbell fadicated that ‘the total-deal could

- reach $5,000,000, Roussos told Werbell that he would

check with-his “friends” (the Agency) before gtving-

Werbell an answer. derbell asked Roussos to see if nis

friends" were in favor of such arms deals or-not. ° Roussos

. had generally explained this call to me.on the telephone

on 29 August. My reaction on the telephone was negative

“.,.+t0 Roussos’ participation in such a deal, and he had

‘conveyed this- negative reply to Werbell by telephone

_ before: Roussos and I met personally on 31 August.

2. During our personal meeting, Roussos explained
that Werbell intended to pursue arms sales legally and
via the required U.S. Government channels. He said that
Werbell does have the capabilities to design and produce
weapons because of his access to arms factories. 1 told
Roussos thatWerbell's businesssactivities were his own
concern, i strongly advised against his getting invalved
in this deal. I explained to him the problems which the
U.S. Government was having in Greece and the current wave

of anti-Americanism and press attacks against the CIA.
If Roussos.as a former CLA offtcer well known in Greece

became involved in sucn a venture, 4 flap of substantial
proportions was likely complete with widespread press
play. Roussos understood and agreed not to get involved. —

" MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
VIA: ‘Deputy Director for Operations |

SUBJECT: : Mitchell Livingston derbell III

2 0 ly J. Mitchel] Livingston Werbell III, who served briefly
=" with the OSS in-WWII, has been engaged for the past several
; “years in arms: dealings and swash-buckling promutional ;
Lattivittes which have brought him to the attention of various
ent agencies.. He has always remained within the
aw afine-edge. Ris latest scheme involves a.Movement
for. the Independence of Abaco, an island to the East of the
Bahamas. fFor.this:he has:obtained apparently substantial
financial support from wealthy Amerfcans and from a British
- Lord. . : :

~2, Werbell operates through a number of front businesses

-. 4n Washington, D.C. and in Marietta, Georgia, where he owns

‘one outfit named Central Information Agency (CIA). In al}

his dealings, Werbell broadly hints that he has current . '
.-Connections with the Agency. We have just learned that

Werbell may be in possession of a one-line note from you,

“stemming from a chance meeting with you at an 0SS alumni
_ dinner, reading something like “gocd to see you again.”

‘ 3. Three retired Agency employees are currently employed
by Werbell in various capacities. This past spring these
employees sought contact with tne Agency basically to report
thefr concern over the-legality of Werbell's activities. We
‘quickly established that the matter was outside our charter

- and asked these retirees to report directly to the Federal |

’ Bureau of Investigation.. We, also furnished the Bureau with
all the pertinent.information in ou: files. It is to be
noted that somewhere in Werbell's scheme of things there
appears the ubiquitous Andrew St. George, who plans to write
a story on. Abaco for True magazine. °

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD -
SUBJECT: Telephone Call from John MULDOON

“1. Approximately 1655 hours, 13 August 1974, a call
was received on C/hWH/7's extension, 351-4221 by the Secre-
tary, Miss Annamarie Ruppert. She answered the extension

=. by number and “the male voice asked to speak to Mr. McTighe.

The secretary. asked who was calling and the caller replied
“John “MUCDOON.." = The: secretary then replied that she was

“sorry “but. Mr. MéTighe couldn’t.be reached. In response to

‘MULDOON’s.-quéry, "Why’ not?" and before the. secretary could

reply, MULDOON became. obstinate and asked who he was speak-

ing to. -Miss -Ruppert replied "his secretary" and then

‘added that Mr. McTighe was away. When MULDOON asked where

he was, the secretary replied that she was not at liberty

- to discuss that. ‘Then MULDOON asked to speak: to McTighe's

deputy and was told that there was no one around whom

' MULDOON could speak to. (C/WH/7 was on leave’ and AC/WH/7

was in the PMC meeting.) MULDOON apparently didn't believe
this reply but then asked when McTighe was expected to
return. The secretary replied "within a few weeks”

‘(McTighe is on TDY) and then asked if she could take a
_ message to give to McTighe upon his return. MULDOON

became belligerent at this point, apparently thinking he’
was getting the ‘run around’ and replied, "just tell him
to talk to Jack Anderson" and hung up.

2. “AC/WHD was briefed on the above telephone call at
1740 hours, 13 August. He decided no action should be taken
on 13. August, but would like to meet with C/WH/7, Al Spera,
on 14 August.

3. At 0950 hours, the following met with AC/WHO:
Mr. Natzke, Mr. Wedemeyer, Mr. Spera and Miss Lehman. In
view of C/WHD's previous decision that no further Agency

contact should be made with MULDOON, RUSSOS, or MACKEM it

was decided that no one would return MULDOON® s call. How-

ever, AC/WHD would brief ADDO, Mr. Blee, on the above threat,
. and WH/7 would ask OPS/LIAISON to telephonically pass to the

FBI the fact that MULDOON again. contacted the Agency and

- threatened to’ go: to "Jack Anderson. A copy of this memoran=
dum is being sent to OPS/LIAISON for this ‘purpose.

Memorandum for the Record

. 1.. Through the intermediary of Robert Brown,. DC/EA,

“and retired ‘staffer Jack "Red" Stent, I was put in- touch
5 with John MULDOON, another retired staffer
who -is now fioriinal vice-president of a Washington-based © - _
‘firm called "Security.Consultants International." :

' Muldoon made the contact with. me apparently. on ‘the

-- advice o ob: Brown and Red Stent whose’ counsel he- :

ight. ij ‘fort to ‘protect himself from the possible.

" his. “involvement with a group promoting...

_, the independer tthe Bahamian -Commonwealth—is:land-of -- -
Abaco. We mét at 1100‘hours at "Tony's" on-L street. -
‘and 18th N.W. in downtown Washington. Red Stent-was-: ;
there to introduce me to Muldooa but he did not participate
- in the discussion. ° ; ;

2. Muldoon presented me with a typewritten report
containing the essential data he possessed concerning
a_group of individuals with whom.he had met on Friday,
17.May 1974 -in- ‘Washington. Attending the meeting with
Muldoon on that occasion were Mitchell WERBELL III (aka
“Mitch Three"), Lord and -Lady BELLHAVEN (alleged British
peers}, Mike OLIVER (a wealthy electronics tycoon of
European, possibly French, origin who currently resides
in Carson City, Nevada) ,‘ Howard HANDELMAN (Washington
correspondent of "U.S. News’ and World Report”), Renee
(Inu) (the evening's object of Werbell's seeningly
voracious affections) and an employe of the Library of
Congress whom-Muldoon chose not to identify to me. At
‘a subsequent meeting on Monday, 26° May .1974, Muldooa
had lunch with WERBELL and free Yance writer Andrew 3t.
GEORGE who is also involved with WERBELL in the Abaco
independence enterprise. ‘The Werbell. croup is known

ig essential to a comprehension of the affair as recounted
by Muldoon: oS a :

: Sey ; - a. IsYand of Abaco ~ From available file .., .

a i information-*é Know that Abaco is.a snall island at the
north end of the Bahamas archipelago a short distance .

off the Florida coast. which was populated in 1785 by .
British Loyalists and their Black.$laves fleeing the
United’States following independence. The island remains
about ' 50% white. Openly apprehensive in anticipation of -
_y, |. -the Bahamas’ Yndependence from Great Britain, the residents
a4 Jof. Abaco, ‘both. white and black, have found themselves - |

v since independence - the object of apparent antagonism

and adiiinistrative neglect on the. part of the Pindling _.
ernment ,, which. has fueled talk of secession from

u rule. This talk has been institutionalized in an.

¢ zation headed by a white, Charles "Chuck"
hie..Abaco’ Independence Movenent (ATM) . | .

ae -HALB is asresident of Marsh Grove, the country cross roads”
ot ; which poses as the metropolitan capital of Abaco; he
ae frequently visits Miami where he meets with Werbell.

coy b.. Mitchell WERBELL IIT - A PhiJadelphian,

WERBELL was a member of OSS in the Far East during World
_ War II where, according to. Muldoon, he cane to know the ©

a Director and Lou Conein. Werbell currently a resident.

cob. - of Atlanta, now-is president of: an international arms

a _. peddling firm called Defense Systenis International (DST).
in addition to industrial security systems, according to
MULDOON, DSI sells automatic weapons (including a minia-

ture machine pistol with a silencer) and bomb-booby- trapped ~~
items of various sorts (e.g., a tennis ball with a fuse.

which is automatically activated when vou stop playing)

and other James Bondian accessories. Werbell hopes to
establish gaming casinos, hotcls and other tourist

facilities in Abaco catering to the U.S. tourist crowd
available for easy ferrying from nearby Miani. As a
consequence of some run-in with Prime, Minister Michael
Pindling, however, Werbell is apparently permanently .

persona non -xrata in the Bahamas; hence his ambitions

appear to be contingent on Abacan independence. e

; c. Mike OLIVER - The financial angel of the
"Friends of Abaco,” Oliver's origins and auspices are
somewhat obscure to Muldoon. OLIVER clains to have spent

“'SCI's specialities are anti-audio sweeps and electronic ;

“an electronics engineer who colla borates with MULDOON g

4. The incident which alarmed Muldoon occurred
during the Friday gathering of the individuals mentioned
in paragraph two. Muldoon was palmed-off by Werbell at so
this gathering as an “official of the CIA (Central —


= assured him that

to attest to the fact that neither the CIA nor the U.S, -

Government is. oppesed to Abacan independence. Hi's fo

interlocutors, despite Muldoon's protests that he was
retired from.CIA and in no way represented U.S. government
interests respecting Abaco,. seemed anxious-- he felt - .

.,, to accept his: presence there as evidence of U.S. —_

17 May 1974, the general outlines of WERBELL .and his
activities. and.aspirations for Abaco ‘have already been

lunch at. the Class Reunion on Eye Street ard Y8th. When
Muldoon ‘and -I arrived to meet Stent we found him ensconced
_ at-a-corner table with three other people. Red rushed
"over to inform us.that he would be introducing me as a

colleague of his from AEROJET. He then presented me to
WERBELL, Werbell's date.Patricia BOTOND ‘and Cecil BROWNLOW
“of "Aviation Weekly." WERBELL, looking for all the world
like Jerry Colonna, was intent on the task of seducing
Miss BOTOND, who happened to be promoting a convention
for the Atlantic Union organization, a political enterprise
which is an offshoot of the World Federalists Movement.
Miss BOTOND, as it turned otit was reared in Shanvhai, China,
at the same time as Stent. Red had attended school with
_cher brother. - the German Schoul in Shanghai. Miss BOTOND
had been expelled fron the German school in the late 1930s
for having had anti-Nazi deodles in her copybook.
Brownlow had helped Red obtain. aerial photos of the.
_ ChiCom consulate compound in Geneva in the early 1960s

_ when Red was stationed in Paris. When Werbell had

wearied of the reminisences of Stent and Botond and had

for a meeting at the Justice Department to. determine |
whether in sweeping Embassy buildings in Nashington he
must register as en agent of a foreign government
(whichever it ight be). Brownlow went about his
business. Stent paid for the lunch. I returned to

rine oe 373 : 12/9/73

‘RE: Current Bahamtan Situation —

: The following peopte were contacted by ‘the writer:
- Jay Mallin (Decenber. 3, 1973. ;) Mallin states that to the.

best of his knowledge there are only two groups known to be active fn the
“inbaeo, Movenént--the, group that ‘WerBe} (Mitchell Livingston KerBel [1I) 1s
associated with and a group being headed up by a Bob Brown.
‘Brown’ is currently in Washington ana is about to return to his home
cwhtch is in ‘Boulder, Colorado. Hallin incicated that 1f anything were about
“to occur Brown would certainly be fn the Miami area.

Brown 1s a white Amert can: and an ex-Special Forces type. He has
forned. a group of. ex- ~Spectal ‘Forces Specialists that-fn Mallin's opinion
"could really raise Hell.” Brown, according to Mallin, has been working for

Chuck Hall. However, Han 1s alse aligned with Wersel.

/

Ballin states t “hall of the planning sessfons = Brown's group ,

chave been held in the tiving room of Mallin’s Corat Cables home. | .
Brown's ‘group: ts all white but he has been in ‘contact with soz. of

. the local Blacks in. Abaco. The Blacks have had no formal training ‘nor do

, they possess the prover. weapons for any sizable operation. In order to _

|ootate ‘Weapons and training. the Blacks have made friendly overtures to Brown" $

‘group. OS 7 .

. : | Matlin, Stated that some of the local Slacks could | move on thefr own

a but, he ‘believes that it would be highly unlikely.

Maltin speciitated. that U. s. Mafia “money may be being. spent in the

i Bahamas in ‘order to finance the overthrow of Pindling! $ government to stop:

; the seizure of the “cas tnos. He, aid not have any evidence to substantiate the

Ini answer to a-direct Guedtion from “the writer Malin ‘further commented -
that Paul Bethal is totally. out of the ‘Abaco situatfon. Bethal’s only role, .
. according to Mallin, was the one meeting he arranged for WerBel, Hall, a Michael

L{ghtbourne (Phonetic) and George Wackenhut. Bethal, Mallin further stated, ,

me an _ - 7 trys: to give people the impression that he has very high level connections
including members of the NationalSecuri ty Council..and-that -he .prepares papers
-and other briefings for the Council. HMallin‘states that this {s not true, that
_Bethal infact has no such contacts, oO -
. Mallin-went on to say that kerBel would not get involved with anything
that would Jeopardize his U. S. government contracts especially the sale” of
“Ms silencer to the Army. In addition, ‘according to Mallin, WerBel | is’ x CIA on
; informant and would advise the Agency of Ms activities. _ On Oecenber 9, 1973,

Maltin was ias recontacted by . the writer. Chuck Hall travels to Miami 4 great
deal ‘and contacts Mallin when he. does., Maltin, said his last contact with Hall
was about two months 290. Hatt? $ Supporters are mainly white although ©

i witheiss everyone knuulag about #t.” ,
There has been a’series of thetts of weapons in the. Bahamas and
Mallia believes that Black, _MlStants could possibly be involved. Mallin
ce further believes that. there’ may in fact be a Black militant group ‘operating tn
